I mean where you have people fill out their name and email, etc. Well there’s a really cool plugin that I’ve used on WordPress websites to generate rather complicated forms on pages on the website.

I’m a believer :)

You can start with something and take it from there, rather than having to begin from scratch.

And I have to admit it … I’m sick of all the hyper-expensive website templates. SICK …

When you are looking for a kick start the last thing you want is to pay through the nose for it.

And the QUALITY suffers too …

But there is a great source of website templates that start at only $10 and they are awesome!

Or, if you want to try your hand at creating some themes for sale, you can also list them on the same website, if they are good enough.

Go take a look and see if there might be a theme for you, or if you want to try to make some money selling your own themes too:

Maurice is a plugin developer and jQuery expert. I’m really happy to have this to share with you.

If you haven’t seen the really cool coverflow effect on Apple’s website, or actually even on an iPhone in the iPod or other apps that use it, you’re missing it!

Why display things in static ways when you can do it with loads of style?

Maurice shares with us the effect and the explanation of how it works, as well as the code. Enjoy!
